Saw this Stanley 15-1/2 at an antique mall? The guy wants $200, is that too much?

The Veritas miter plane weights .5lbs more than the LN 62 and 1.0lbs less than the Veritas jack rabbet. The Veritas jack rabbet has grub screws that can be snugged down to keep the blade from moving ...

Tony, I agree. I've owned the LN no9, Veritas low angle jack, LN low angle jack, Veritas shooting plane and now the Veritas miter plane. The Veritas miter plane is the most fun to use to "shoot". The ...
